I appreciate any help I can get. I got these picture from the seller of a Sub No Date that I'm interested in. I don't see any obvious issues but was hoping I could get the opinion of others if this looks legit.

Thanks

Welcome to the Forum!

Looks good to me.

Hopefully the seller is reputable and you would receive what is in the pictures..

mjclark32 · 21 March 2013, 10:54 PM

Looks ok to me, remember buy the seller first!

gpfps · 21 March 2013, 10:55 PM

Looks like mine but it goes back to the seller. Trust worthy or not ?

Speed · 21 March 2013, 11:31 PM

I wouldn't work with a seller I doubted.

beshannon · 21 March 2013, 11:34 PM

Maybe it is just me but the gap between the bezel and the crystal looks really large?

supernova · 21 March 2013, 11:47 PM

I think it's cause the bezel protector makes it look like a big gap, but I think the watch looks good too!

I think the gap you're seeing is actually the gap between the inner edge of the bezel protector and the watch.

I looks good but don't buy based on looks alone. The most important advice you've already been given is "buy the seller". Do your research. Check references. Then if all checks out pull the trigger.

Mickyfin · 21 March 2013, 11:56 PM

Looks good to me, but is the seller good though my friend? Best check for any solid references they may have, and only purchase when you are completely happy with this seller, I would hate for you to get duped. I did a while ago sadly, but that was before I knew what I know now;)

landroverking · 22 March 2013, 12:06 AM

Looks good to go. Price?

jrgougeon · 22 March 2013, 12:32 AM

Thanks for the comments everyone. It would be a face to face sale so I don't need to worry about it being mailed something else.

If you're still worried, consider meeting at a Rolex AD and having them authenticate it prior to money changing hands.

sea-dweller · 22 March 2013, 01:37 AM

I think the watch looks fine.

+1

Watchdog · 22 March 2013, 02:27 AM

It looks fine to me (but I am DEFINITELY not an expert on authentication). However, I would not do a deal with anyone I did not have full confidence in.

cop414 · 22 March 2013, 02:30 AM

Looks just like mine, what's the asking price?
Oh, welcome to TRF.

nick c · 22 March 2013, 02:41 AM

Check it at AD for sure

Armyguy03 · 22 March 2013, 04:08 AM

Looks legit. Like your doing a face to face too. I'd request to meet at an AD, crack the oyster open and get the thumbs up. If so, buy if the price is right.

Rolex-10 · 22 March 2013, 04:16 AM

Looks ok but so do some fakes in pictures.
Meet at an AD and pay for them to authenticate it.
Safe all round.

jrgougeon · 22 March 2013, 05:06 AM

Thanks again for the comments.

I'm definitely feeling the love in this forum. I posted my question on another forum and have had barely a peep.

Jr,
Lots of great people here and a plethora of valuable information, hang around for a while!

LA_LEC · 22 March 2013, 06:07 AM

Looks got but the thing about pictures is that you never actually know if those of the actual watch...could be from anywhere. They could certainly be of a real Rolex but are they of the watch being sold? You need to have trust in the seller.

Since you are doing face to face you can see what you are getting prior to sending/handing over payment. If possible getting it authenticated at the time is ideal.

Best of luck!

mrbill2mrbill2 · 22 March 2013, 09:02 AM

Welcome to TRF!

The pics look good. That's all I can say.

Good point!

bayerische · 22 March 2013, 01:18 PM

Looks good.

m_allie · 22 March 2013, 01:50 PM

take it to and ad and authenticate even if you think you know what your buying is real better to be safe than sorry even if it cost you couple of extra bucks..

jatco · 22 March 2013, 02:05 PM

Pics look good to me... But just to be sure, take it to a reputable 'watch maker' nearby, to authenticate it.. (not necessarily an AD ...) - If he/she authenticates it.. then obviously you're good to go..!
